I have a disdain for this movie just because it will forever be compared with Menace 2 Society, and I think Meance was clearly better. shyt, I think Meance 2 Society is the greatest movie of all time:dame:

Plus, Trey was such a hoe ass nikka.

Crying to get p*ssy:gucci:

Making up a whole elaborate lie about getting p*ssy and telling his dad. Then telling him he went raw. nikka it's a lie, why say you didn't strap up:what:

Acting like his hoe ass was a rider, then telling them nikkas to stop the car and let him out when he knew his bytch ass wasn't never bout that life in the first place:martin:

Going from super dark skinned when he was a kid to a light skin nikka when he got older :patrice:
:dead::mjpls:

Many, especially the drive-by shooting and the final where Cube smoke the goons in cold blood :whew:

Also, can not forget Laurence Fishburne playing the role of a great father trying to get his son off the streets :wow:


At SDSU, they taught Boyz N The Hood as a college course (sociology) The class was full and was hard to add Keep in mind state is all white

They Watched each scene and broke it down and had to write about it each week. I remember my mom told me the professor broke down why Furious told tre not to join the army And how black men had no business fighting

i wish John never used him :scusthov:
yeah i got his character's role, i just dont like dude as an actor. the only thing ive ever seen him really act in was men of honor, he killed that role. he just had so many cringeworthy scenes and lines in boyz :mjlol:

but then again, maybe he really was the best for the part :ehh: wouldnt be the same movie without him

I like Cuba as Tre tho. There's a reason they choose him. It worked out well. Imagine Tyrin As tre? I can't. I like the film the way it is.





Either they dont know or dont show :mjcry:



this theme :mjcry:





Stanley is a legend. Love his work. He's amazing. Quich jones Was on set and gave Stanley tips on notes to use for the film
